Yep, you have 2 options:
1. Rasie the tank to match the bodylift giving more under body clearance
or
2. extend the rubber filler hose. I originally got an offcut of pipe from the local exhaust shops recycle bin and a couple of hose clamps. Worked great. But got a long range tank and decided to raise the tank up as the LR tank hung down lower the the std tank.

My factory filler hose reached just, had to loosen off at tank and slip hose up to just before the barb. Only got it by a few mm but it has stuck for over 12 months.

About half an hour with a mig. Moved all the mounts down 50mm (thus raising the tank) That was a 4wd systems 145l one, but i'm sure the others would be similar.
From memory cut the drivers side mounts (2) off. Bolted 'em to the car then manouvered the tank into place with a couple of floor jacks. Tacked the mounts in place. Removed the have dozen or so bolts and got one of my boily mates to weld her up. Used an offcut of 5mm plate to bend up a new passenger side mount (goes onto shackle pin)
